What you think is good? Working with family business or finding your own job?

hi archieo, what business your father is doing,if he need your hand means help ,it is better to help him and you can search jobs online,on your leisure time,so both works will be done at once your father will be happy with your help and you can also choose right job for you on online,try it,all the best have a nice day

Well, what do you want to do in the future, and what does you dad do? If the work that you will be doing for your dad is related to any job you get in the future, it would still count as experience I think. But if you want to do something completely different, it might be a problem. I would probably help my dad out initially, because he needs the help, and then go to another job later. You will always have that option later on, while your dad needs you know, you know?

Working in a family business can be very rewarding. You can gain a lot of accomplishment from this. Working together, can bring a family closer. it can also present problems as well. Who is the boss when it comes to family business? This can bring on unwanted struggles. Finding your own job gives you the opportunity to find your own way. It can be more of a risk, but it is one to take alone. Still, i would think a family business is best in the long run. This is something to pass on to the next generation.

It depends on how your family will treat you, if it is a close knit family it always does good to get to know the family business as you might end up inheriting it, always give it a shot first try it out but let your father know in advance that you are there to learn and that if you feel it isn't for you you can always try something different I am sure he will be understanding after all you are different people with different dreams.

as per your discussion you are not fully knowledge of education leavel. your father wanted to you for business purpose. but you think solo earning. in my openion first you go to fathers business. that is better way to earning and also helping to father. one or two years woking with your father. you gatherd experience lot. later you can do it you ambition with your fathers permision surely

Looking for a great career really starts with working for others--and not in your family business. Not only will you learn to be independent, you'll also get to see the real work scene. That is, you'll get to see people of all types, you'll learn how to deal with them, you'll learn to value 'working from the scratch,' and you'll learn how to be confident. Working with a family business puts you in your comfort zone. Nevertheless, you shouldn't also set aside the plea of your father. You may find a job that wouldn't really ask a great amount of your time so that at the same time, you can also help your father in small ways. You just have to let him understand your case.

Just weigh up the pros and cons with both options. Helping your father can have its rewards, however at times it can be hard to leave work at work. At some stage there is a chance that your father can disagree with some of your work and then find it harder to face him. I worked with my father and another good thing about it was he was there when I got sexually assaulted at work. This guy jumped on my back and grabbed my groin area. He didn't hurt the groin area however when he jumped on my back he slipped my disc on my lower back. I couldn't work or walk far for about a year after that and was basically confined to bed with heaps of painkillers and anti-inflammatories. Dad was there and helped me to make complaints and supported me it was a very sensitive topic and with my fathers help I got the guy sacked and I had him charged. The back still hurts now 3yr on. Having my father there ment alot. My father had alot of stress from having me there alot of people there thought I got the job there because my father works there. Infact I turned up at work and he didn't even know that I applied for a job there. Getting a job on your own has less complications and that would be the option that I would personally take, but ultimately the best advice is to do what makes you happy. Best of luck with it regardless of what you choose.

I think you need to help your father. Discuss what his expectations are for you first. For example, is it your father's intention for you to carry on his business? If so is that something you would like to do and can you further his business in the future. Make a mutual agreement to work within before you begin. Being self employed has pros and cons. Working for family does count if your work is documented, as an employee, partner, or consultant.

i think whats important is you like what you do, whether its working with your company or working with the other company, you will do better if you love your job.

What is your passion? What drives you? Are you are entrepreneurial person, or not? If you are an entrepreneurial person and business minded, go help your father in your family business. But if you are not, then go out there and find your own job.

I wouldn't say working in a family business the experience does not count. I've never heard that. Could be because my family does not have any self starting businesses but i'm not sure w/ that one. I mean depending of the job, you get customer service experience if nothing else. So i would say help your father, and you can still use that as an experience, because after all, it is a new experience for you, is it not??

Help your family business of course, but also let them be aware that you are looking for a career for yourself. They will understand but in the meantime helo with them while you can, it is only right.

I think the answer to your question depends on a few different factors. What kind of job are you looking for? Is it a job similar to what your father does? Would you enjoy helping your father and benefit from the experience? If the answer is yes, I'd go with helping him. But if he works in a different area than you want to in the future, and you wouldn't really benefit from helping him, or you feel pressured into helping him, I'd say no, find your own job.

to work business to our family is the best we can do for the real success..atleast we do and help to our business in family..to make fast improvement. soon the business will be success!

i have not finished my education. I am an IT student. But also i help my dads business. I have interest on both i.e my subject and my dad business. so i am planning to continue my dads business with the education i have. In guture i may do some jobs too but i hope to continue my dads business. So what i think is you sholud do what you have interest on. If you do not have interest on dad business then i think its better you do waht you have interest on or find a job. or if you have interest on both then you can be flexible.

you can help your father for your business at the same time you can find the job you want...so that while waiting for the job you applied for in other company you can spend time in helping your father in running your business,and if time comes that you get the job i'm sure that your father will understand and feel happy for you...
